In 1994, Northern Ireland’s Therapy? unleashed Troublegum, an album that would become a definitive pillar of 90s rock. Combining the raw intensity of hard rock with a sharp indie s ensibility, the trio—Andy Cairns, Michael McKeegan, and Fyfe Ewing—pushed the limits of the rock format, famously utilizing feedback as their "fourth instrument." This faithful reissue replicates the original A&M Records UK release with stunning precision, bringing back the album that earned a Mercury Music Prize nomination and reached No. 5 on the UK charts. Recorded at Chipping Norton Studios with producer Chris Sheldon, Troublegum is an relentless 45-minute sonic assault. Mixed with almost no gaps between tracks, the record flows with an incredible sense of urgency and "attack." From the generational anthem "Screamager" to the brooding power of "Nowhere" and a storming post-punk cover of Joy Division’s "Isolation," this album remains a warm, powerful, and essential document of British rock history.
